तस्यापि निरोधे सर्वनिरोधान्निर्बीजः समाधिः ॥५१॥
tasyāpi nirodhe sarva-nirodhān-nirbījaḥ samādhiḥ ||51||


[RS] 1.51 Nirbiija samadhi is attained once even these impressions have become tranquil and when everything has become tranquil.

[JW] 1.51 When this [subliminal-impression] also is restricted, since all is restricted, [the yogin gains] seedless concentration.

[SS] 1.51 When even this impression is swiped out, every impression is totally wiped out and there is nirbija [seedless] samadhi. [p76]

[TD] 1.51 The mind reaches a state when it has no impressions of any sort. It is open, clear, simply transparent. [p164]

[EB] 1.51 Upon the cessation of even those [truth-bearing samskaras], nirbija-samadhi, seedless meditative absorption, ensues. [p164]
